Disable motorola defy capactive buttons vibration android froyo....

Hi, can anybody tell me how to disable the capacitive buttons vibration on motorola defy?i have unchecked the heptic feedback but problem still lives. I am using android 2.2.2 .Plz provide some suggestions as the vibration is very annoying
[Defy General] nameite:
I have a green lens Defy so let me help answer ur question.

1. Yes no lag, on CM7 and GO launcher

2. Yes awesome resolution for its size, I havent a problem with it.

3. Internet works fine, 3G/HSDPA is fast, wifi not a problem...though some on nightlys wifi can be a problem. <---need some tweaking

So all in all, yes Defy is a great phone for your requirement with an added bonus of being more robust than others.

Though your requirements fits many other phones out there
[Defy General] crakeron:
It still exists on the majority of Defys :/

Not according to Motorola. The official advice on the Motorola support forum for the Defy is as follows:

If you remove the battery you should see a label inside the battery compartment with a bar code and the words "Made in China". If the characters above "Made in China" include "BTxx" or "BFxx" then the phone should not be at risk of suffering the earpiece problem. Alternatively, if there is a blue dot on the label then the phone should also not be at risk.

So if your phone has "BTxx" or "BFxx", or a blue dot, then it doesn't have the fault. Bear in mind that there can be other reasons for the earpiece to fail, over and above the known fault which Motorola have acknowleged, so even a phone not in the "at risk" batch can still go wrong for other reasons eg mistreatment, or a one-off manufacturing error. Conversely, if your phone

is

in one of the suspect batches then it's not necessarily

bound

to break: my phone does not have any of the reassuring markings but the earpiece has been fine so far, touch wood.
[Defy General] fisik:
well its not true that Nexus is around the same price as Defy+ ... f.e. amazon.de Nexus S - 296,66 EUR, Defy 228,90 EUR, Defy+ 237,89 EUR. If you want simmilar to Nexus S price, I would prefer SE Arc S. But diff between Defy+ and normal is too small, that I suggest to buy the newer stuff. And support is in the future - as Google said, that all devices with stock Gingerbread should get ICS too. We will see.
[Defy General] adie82:
untill now i still can decide my defy got green or red lens even after read a thread about it

any other step that can i try?
[Defy General] root_toor:
From Nexus to DEFY - I think DEFY can be defined as a phone against NEXUS

[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
Welcome! You'll have a lot of fun here, the community is great. Btw do you need help finding anything? Let me know :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
Keep in mind research before you flash a custom kernel or rom. If you do something wrong may cause a soft brick. Which can be solved with one the unbrick methods. Welcome to infuse. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigbob_ftw:
I bricked a razr once. I'm in no hurry here.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
Almost impossible to brick this phone where u can't get it back to stock. Just make sure u become familiar with gtg's unbrick program. Its a life saver or phone saver which ever way u wanna look at it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Try flashing different modems...that will also help GPS lock faster and help with data speeds and signal
[Samsung Infuse 4G] njsharkracer:
Try FusionXII rom. I got a fix in about 30 seconds. It's always odd how a standalone gps can get a fix in 30 seconds with no cell tower or internet data to help it along but a phone can't get a fix without them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigbob_ftw:
just flashed it last night, love it so far!. Qestion, do you use the kernel that came with it, or a customer one? don't know if I want to OC or not.

Hey everyone, I am also pretty new to XDA, just started try to get more involved with my infuse. I had a captivate prior to my infuse that my friend did a wonderful job flashing various roms to, and I finally have found both the initiative and time to work on doing things of a similar nature on my infuse.

So nice to meet all of you. I figured I'd post here to avoid having to make a new thread.

[Acer Iconia A500] jonesai2013:
Right, I've rooted my Acer a while back and installed CWM (Clock Work Mod for those who don't know) an wondered what is one of the best ROMs out there for it?

Just want the ROM to work with no bugs and has the possible ability to overclock (only a but though) plus that has some of its bloatware removed. Any Ideas? Greatly appreciate any good comments :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You have an A500 or an A501?

For A500 / A501 Taboonay, 2.0 or 2.2 The Ginger stuff is ok also. Lightspeed is ok also, but you have to run the patch.

For a little less cooked, try Harkon or Ice. But for Ice, I recommend the thor 3.9R3 Kernel. And for Harkon

Thors kernels are the best.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cactus42:
Thor. Stable, fast and overclockable. Simply the best Rom out there right now for the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] eersfanpilot:
I have tried Taboony, ran Lightspeed from 1.0.1 - 1.0.7 and although it is a GREAT clean ROM I have been using Thor's 14.2 and it is Amazing! I think Thor is a tad above Lightspeed right now. Make sure u get the flashable file to make it more Acer instead of ASUS if you want to use your Gameloft games.
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
+1 Thor's ROM v14. 2
[Acer Iconia A500] Messatsu:
+1, Thor's ROM v14.2 !
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
Another +1 for Thor's rom. Installed V12 a few weeks ago, and then V13 came out. Being a beginner, I was unsure if I wanted to upgrade and deal w/ possible user error issues, but the update to V14.2 was fool-proof.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Ok, I've seen many people here talking about Thor with pleasure... I am thinking about rooting my device, but, what I have to do exactly to keep my Gameloft games working?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
9mm I believe is Gameloft, and it ran fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] fierro315:
+1 Thor's rom is the best :)

Thanks! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] rberger3:
Ok, not trying to hijack the thread. I just ordered an a500 from best buy for $219. I have rooted my evo and a flytouch 3 before so i know it has it's advantages. In a nut shell what does thor do over acer's default scenario? IF there is a sticky or link that answers that i'll take it.

Thanks

Has anyone tested the Klipsch Control app for use with their S4A headphones? I know they have issues with some Samsung phones (e.g., GSII) but not others (Epic). Does it work properly on a Galaxy Nexus?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Socamonarch:
It does work perfectly so far.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
The one thing keeping TetherGPS from working on the Kindle Fire is the missing development options in the settings menu, specifically the "Enable Mock Locations" option. You can however enable it manually.

UPDATED 9/9/2012

This post originally used Zergrush to root, but that no longer works with the latest updated software from Amazon. Check the development section to find the latest rooting information.

1. Root your Kindle Fire.

2. Obtain/install ADB, sqlite3, and the KF USB drivers. Make sure the KF shows up when you execute the command "adb devices" from a terminal.

3. Execute the following in a terminal window:

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
copy settings.db settings.bak
sqlite3 settings.db "update secure set value=1 where name='mock_location';"
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb reboot

4. After the KF restarts you are set! Connect your KF to your phone's wifi, launch the TetherGPS server on your phone, and launch the TetherGPS client on your KF. Install Google Maps/Earth or any other GPS-consuming app and you should be good to go.

Alternative Method: Purchase Root Explorer from the Play Store on your rooted KF. Use Root Explorer and sqlite editor to open /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and change 'mock_location' from '0' to '1'. Restart your KF.

Thanks goes to ros87 for posting this method for the Nook Touch here.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] FlashFire1:
This looks like it would work. I think I'll try it after you make the video since I'm more of a video person. :D
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Post updated with simpler instructions. I wrote a batch file and included the files necessary to complete this procedure.

Demo video is also posted!

This is now a very easy process, and does not require that your device remain rooted. Google Maps is super smooth on the KF!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] FlashFire1:
Would it be possible to tether a Garmin GPS to the KFire?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] siafu:
This is awesome! Now if we can get the Bluetooth working on the KF then I can use my BT GPS. For now this will work!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
Getting BT working would really be the icing on the cake, or perhaps the ice cream on my sandwich ;)

For most people, you're going to have to tether to your phone to get internet access anyway, so using TetherGPS saves you from having a third device.

Target has the LG Optimus V for $50 right now. I believe it's a Fri/Sat sale only. It's a pre-paid phone for Virgin Mobile, but you don't need to activate it. You can root the device and install android-wifi-tether and TetherGPS, and use it as a GPS puck.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] uzi74:
I've had the same "Mock" issue yesterday, today I've found your guide and it solved my problem immediately, many thanks! :D

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] californiarailroader:
I have ADB working fine, but when I run the batch file it just keeps saying " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
You need to put the platform-tools folder in your system's PATH variable, or you can drop the files from the zip into the platform-tools folder and run the batch file there.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] californiarailroader:
Thanks, I figured it was something like that. I just dropped the files into my tools folder and did it from there, success! :D

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

What would I put in Path under Environment Variables to enable it? I want to make sure I put it in correctly.

I added this to the end of the existing text in Path- ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

I answered my own question lol Now I can ADB allover the place hehe Anyway, this works GREAT, thank you so much for this! It'll be nice having a 7 inch GPS on my travels across Nor*Cal for work (I work everything from Sonoma County and just north of Sacramento north to Oregon and Northeast to Nevada).
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Stoneje77:
This is working great for me. Simple steps, and now my Kindle does the one thing that I wished that it would have done from the start by having GPS. Thank you, much!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] sgood1971:
Works good, thanks. Wants me to enable gps in settings starting navigation, but there is no gps in settings. It's cool though, still locates me within 10 meters.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] neilrl79:
Forgive me if I'm wrong but couldn't you edit the settings.db with root explorer right on the device?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
If your KF is rooted, and you have root explorer and SQLite Editor installed, then you can do it right on the KF. I haven't tried it personally, but I don't see any reason why not.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] MinionOfEckerd:
Got the GPS link working! Thanks!

BTW What tethering program are you using? What phone is it being run on?

I have a Droid 3 and my KF isn't recognizing the tetherering. (Tried Barnacle and OpenGarden)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] neilrl79:
I have a DROID3 as well tho I haven't gotten my KF yet. Did you do the Radiocomm tether hack that utilizes the hotspot app included with the phone?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] MinionOfEckerd:
Yes, I did. Getting some errors running the hotspot app, though.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] neilrl79:
Ok, I am planning on getting the fire but tethering to my phone is a must. I was really hoping that it would just work with the hotspot appp i already have.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] MinionOfEckerd:
I have the hotspot running on my Droid 3. But the KF will say "Attempting" and then display an error that says it's unable to connect. :(

"Unable to connect tot he selected access point. Please try again" That's using the stock hotspot program with the Radiocomm edit.

GOT IT WORKING!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358568

Used that version of Android Wifi Tether from there. Ignored the Verizon hotspot stock program and just broadcasted the IP as AndroidTether, no security but access control is on so I can deny anybody that tries to connect.

Cannot wait to use my 7inch GPS in the car on the way to work tomorrow! :D
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] neilrl79:
Cool, while looking around the DROID3 forum about an hour ago i found the new wifi tether app as well.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ckong1:
TetherGPS Client not receiving location. what did i do wrong?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Felnarion:
I got this a couple times.

First: The batch file didn't run with the proper permissions (Or otherwise failed) and therefore mock locations weren't enabled.

Second: The TetherGPS server trial has reached a time limit and is no longer transmitting the GPS data

Third: Wait a couple seconds after you turn on the client. Either it takes a few seconds to connect, or the notification isn't updated immediately.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ckong1:
Ran the batch twice, I bought the paid version, and waited a bit before starting the client on the KF and still not receiving location. Will try running the batch again.

Still no luck...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
So long as the notification bar on the client does not say something to the effect of "Mock locations may be disabled", then there is no need to run the batch file again.

There are a few reasons why the client may not be receiving location:

- The phone may not be receiving a good GPS signal. Does it have a clear view of the sky and a good GPS lock?

- The tablet may not be receiving the location broadcast from the server. Are both devices connected to the same wifi network, or is the phone running a wifi hotspot application that the tablet has connected to? Note: people have reported issues with Barnacle in the past.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ckong1:
Thanks for the help, it works and probably worked after the first try. My first attempt tethering GPS was in my house, second and next few attempts were in the office. Walked outside and it worked perfectly.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Glasairmell:
Works great thank you. I fly also and this is a good start to using the KF for aviating.

168 kts, not bad what are you in?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
It's an RV-9A. My wife and I spent 4 years building it in our single car garage :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Glasairmell:
Very nice. Thought it was an RV grats on your completion!

I built my plane also and can appreciate the work you put in to it.

Let's hope they produce some good android programs for flight like Anywheremap.

Also bluetooth support would be the best for the KF gps wise. Time will bring it most likely. = )

Thanks again for your efforts here.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] blauciel:
Now if I can get a proper root for my EVO 3D hboot 1.5...

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Glasairmell:
What does "Error Creating Socket" when starting the the "Client" mean? I re installed the batch file but that did not help remove it. Not sure if the update is related to this or not. Also I hope the batch settings file is up to snuff for the new update.

I still get gps data with 6.2
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
That error occurs when the client is unable to bind the appropriate UDP port. I'd restart the tablet and see if it happens again.

I just tested the batch script after the 6.2 update without any issues.

I e-mailed the Kindle Fire support dept a few days ago to see if they could turn on the 'mock_location' setting by default on future firmware releases, but there's no way to know if it will get forwarded to the appropriate people or if Amazon will actually oblige.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] neilrl79:
I've been trying to get this going for a little while with little success, although i think it may be my DROID3. I'll keep at it tho.

Edit: Got it to work, persistence paid off.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mipakr:
So the fire has bluetooth hardware, its just disabled? are you sure?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] californiarailroader:
According to the hardware teardowns, that's what they think, it's just not enabled anywhere in the OS, so the device thinks it's not there.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] rmagruder:

But after running the client and server (either on shared wi-fi, or wi-fi tethered from my Nexus One running CM 7.1, I just get a notification saying "TetherGPS Client Not receiving Location!". But location is working on the Nexus.

Any thoughts?

By the way I just checked with Shell Explorer. Mock Location is definitely set to 1 in the settings file, so that worked.

But still no location....maybe the problem is on my Nexus One with the Server side????
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] rmagruder:
Well, how about that. It works now . :)

Turns out the GPS signal in the little office in my house was doing too good of a job of not 'locking' the GPS signal down, so although it was good enough for the phone's copy of Maps to see where I was, it wasn't able to transmit. Once I got into a solid GPS, the IP address came up, and the Kindle Fire had no problem receiving the signal.

So, advice to others: If your phone's GPS symbol is flickering on the notification bar, even if your phone is capable of seeing your location in Maps, it's not good enough for the tether.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] blauciel:
Anyone know if this works on the EVO 3D with hboot 1.5 root via HTC unlock? I haven't done it yet, but if someone says it works, then I'll try it.

//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lionclaw:
The app doesn't require root to run. The only reason you might need to root the phone is to install a wifi hotspot app. If you already have one working then you're good to go. Or, you could just connect both your phone and the tablet to your home wifi to test it out.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] blauciel:
Gotcha. My concern is having to use HTC's unlock method. I'm trying to avoid that.
